Abstract
When the liquid ejecting head is viewed in plan, the piezoelectric body includes a first region overlapping with the first pressure compartment, a second region overlapping with a wall of the first recess, a third region overlapping with the second pressure compartment, and a fourth region overlapping with a wall of the second recess. The first region is located between the second region and the third region and is provided away from the second region. The third region is located between the first region and the fourth region and is provided away from the fourth region.
Claims8
A liquid ejecting head, comprising:
- a pressure compartment substrate in which a plurality of pressure compartments is provided, the plurality of pressure compartments including a first pressure compartment extending in a first direction and a second pressure compartment provided at a position different from a position of the first pressure compartment in the first direction and extending in the first direction;
- a plurality of piezoelectric elements disposed over the pressure compartment substrate and including a piezoelectric body, an upper electrode, and a lower electrode;
- and
- a sealing plate in which a first recess and a second recess are provided and which is disposed over the plurality of piezoelectric elements, the first recess housing a first piezoelectric element corresponding to the first pressure compartment among the plurality of piezoelectric elements, the second recess housing a second piezoelectric element corresponding to the second pressure compartment among the plurality of piezoelectric elements, wherein
- when the liquid ejecting head is viewed in plan in a vertical direction, the piezoelectric body includes a first region overlapping with the first pressure compartment, a second region overlapping with one of two walls that the first recess includes in the first direction, a third region overlapping with the second pressure compartment, and a fourth region overlapping with one of two walls that the second recess includes in the first direction,
- in the first direction, the first region is located between the second region and the third region and is provided away from the second region, and
- in the first direction, the third region is located between the first region and the fourth region and is provided away from the fourth region.
